A TV connected to Chromecast is a bit more complicated. Chromecast does not have a dedicated app for Amazon Instant Video so you cannot access it like you can other apps.

It may result in a few difficulties with the video and sound, but, overall, there are not many issues or errors.

Another way to stream on your television is to use a game console. There is an Amazon Instant Video app on Wii, PS4, Xbox, and other new consoles of the same type. Go into the app store, download the app, and begin streaming immediately.

Mobile devices, too, can use the Amazon Instant Video application. All Apple devices should connect no problem to the app once downloaded from the Apple App Store. On Android, however, some devices will not work. The app is only available through the Amazon web store and does not work on tablets. You will have to check to see if your device supports the app if you would like to use it to stream your movies and television shows.
